Rodney Terry, the interim head coach for the University of Texas men's basketball team, has faced criticism from Sirius Radio and ESPN's College GameDay for his reaction to the 'Horns Down' gesture made by UCF players. Kelvin Sampson, the head coach of the University of Houston, advised Texas to 'embrace the hate' in response to the gesture. Following the backlash, Terry issued an apology to UCF's program and head coach Johnny Dawkins, as well as to the Texas fanbase, for not handling the situation appropriately.
